Occasionally, I can be a little long-winded when attempting to describe an experience, a feeling or even when providing (what should be) a simple description.
Luckily for you, today I don’t have to be. (Cue sighs of relief).
Here are some photos that I took in Paris over the weekend. With these, I no longer require any words to describe just why I have fallen in love with this city…
And finally, I leave you with a quote that has always helped me through my travels:
”If at some point you don’t ask yourself, ‘What have I gotten myself into?’ then you’re not doing it right.” — Roland Gau
The Awake List 
Stunning! Love the quote at the end!
Thank you! It’s certainly a quote to live by 🙂
They are beautiful pictures. It’s true, you seem to have told a story without any words. I love your blog and look forward to many more posts.
Thank you for the kind comment!
Oh my! What beautiful photographs of Paris!!! Been on my bucket list for a while. My daughter’s biggest dream is to go there, so I’m hopefully going to take her and Mama in 2 years. Gotta save, save, save. Lucky you, to get to take pictures of and visit this great city. Love it! Like that quote, too! 😉 Wait, you live there?!
Thank you! I’m sure all the saving will be well worth it once you get here!
And even though I’m now living here, I still stand by that quote… Maybe that’s why I tend to get myself into so much trouble! 🙂
No words needed! You are a lucky duck!
Why thank you! Yes, I’m definitely counting my blessings! Now, if only I could win the lotto….
You definitely have some contrasts in there. Paris is a long way away from where I am in USA’s Midwest, so it’s nice to see some little bits of it. Thanks.
Please feel free to drop by and view my interpretation of Contrast:
Thanks for stopping by. I certainly will take a look at your interpretation! 🙂
No words needed. These are great shots of a beautiful city 🙂
Thank you. I don’t think you can really take a bad shot in this place!
These are fantastic; that photo of the Moulin Rouge just makes me want to dance. I love Paris. x
Thank you! The Moulin Rouge is gorgeous! They were my favourite shots! 🙂
Have you seen a show there? On my list of things to do next time I’m in Paris.
Not yet… It is definitely on my list too! I’m scared that if I see one show, I’ll want to go again and again!
I dream of going to Paris! Thank you for sharing these lovely, lovely photos!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for your comment 🙂
I’ve only been to Paris for a few days, but there seems like there is an endless supply of places to visit and pictures to take. Nice post.
Thanks for your comment! Yes, you are certainly right – this place leaves you spoilt for choice of places to visit! Not always good for someone as indecisive as me!
Don’t know if I’ll ever get there so living vicariously through you will have to do for now. 🙂
The world is being brought so much closer to us with this challenge. I think it’s great! Thanks. And thanks for peeking at my post. Be seeing you…
Thanks for your comment! And I’m sure you’ll get to Paris one of these days!
hahah love the quote at the end.
Paris is an AMAZNING city, so envious that you were there over the weekend!
I love it so much, I can’t wait to go back!
Thanks for your comment. It is an amazing city, and even better now that it is beginning to warm up!
PARIS – the city of the contrasts – you were lazy enough to get involved?
greetings by
Haha yes, I’ll admit, the city almost made it feel like cheating!
Oh wow! Now these are absolutely stunning indeed and yes, I find with photographs you sometimes don’t have to say much. Fabulous post! 🙂
Thank you so much for the lovely comment! Very much appreciated 🙂
When I was in Paris I thought it was the most photogenic city I have ever been to. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
You’re very welcome. It is hard to go wrong when taking a picture here! Thanks for your comment 🙂
Beautiful pics, and I love the black and whites too.
One of my favorite quotes is (sadly) one of my own:
“What time is it, what day is it and is there a cab going anywhere I need to be?”
And a great quote it is. Sounds a bit like something I say after waking up from a big night. 😉
such great images and that quote just made ths a perfect posting
Thank you! That’s a lovely comment, much appreciated! 🙂
love the quote!
It’s brilliant – it completely justifies getting yourself into trouble! 😉
nice collection of pics

Thanks for your comment 🙂
Just wanted to come back and tell you that your pictures inspired my husband and I to finally decide on our next vacation destination – Paris! We will be booking our tickets this week. Keep your delightful posts coming and thanks for the inspiration 🙂
That’s lovely, I’m sure you will have a brilliant time. There is so much to see and do!
So does this mean that you’ll be posting some shots of your own after your trip? If so, I look forward to checking out your post 🙂
Oh no I’m a better reader than blogger so I don’t post. I just lurk around and leave the occasional comment if I come across a post that I enjoy! Lol.
Leaving London to head to Paris today! Was feeling a bit reluctant to leave London, as I have loved being here so much. Your post has helped me feel more excited about my Paris adventure. Thank you, my dear!
I’m glad to have helped 🙂 I’m sure you will love it here, it will be a whole new adventure for you!
